I can't be the only out there who thinks this......so I'm sitting here eating my lunch, it's some leftover bone in shoulder roast from a few days ago, and I swear it tastes better now than when I first cooked it. This is probably the 3rd elk roast I've done in the past month with the same results.
Does anyone cook a roast and just put it in the fridge for later?
I don't know what those flavors are doing while sitting in the fridge but dayummm.... :drool: :drool:

Cold ? Seems like leftover tastes better cold sometimes.

according to the Institute of Food Technologists:
Another reason not to waste leftovers: They often taste better the next day. Chemical reactions in the food continue to take place and produce more or new flavor molecules.
Proteins may continue to break down and release amino acids such as glutamate that make food taste more savory (umami); other amino acids react with sugar to produce new flavor molecules if browning occurs during the reheating of leftovers. On the other hand, leftovers may taste blander if eaten cold because our taste receptors are less responsive to foods that are below 60° F; lower temperatures also reduce the volatility of aroma compounds.
I agree my prime rib was alot better warmed up later.

I’ve never done it with a roast, but I always cook my chili the day before we are going to eat it.

I just cooked some chili yesterday for the game. I have some left over, I’ll report back when I eat the leftovers.
